First Grade Field Trip to the Aviation Museum

First Graders had a great time exploring aviation at the College Park Aviation Museum. They learned about the Wright brothers’ perseverance and the airport’s many firsts in flight. They loved seeing the historic and replica aircraft on display, especially when they were allowed to climb in the cockpit and work some of the controls! Our classes enjoyed dressing up as aviators, playing with flight simulators, and experimenting with the power of wind.  We were lucky that the museum also had a special O-gauge train exhibit for the holiday season. Of course, they all came back to school with their own paper airplanes! The great trip was enjoyed by students and parent chaperones alike.
